Warwickshire Energy Strategy

In 2023 Warwickshire County Council’s (WCC) Cabinet approved the establishment of a WCC Energy Strategy (PDF, 662KB)

Both the Council Plan (2022) and the Sustainable Futures Strategy (2023) have a focus on responding to climate change and meeting net zero commitments (for our council emissions by 2030 and for county emissions by 2050). Our previous energy plans, which were developed to measure and monitor emissions, have therefore been reviewed and our Energy Strategy is now aligned with these new targets, standards and legislation.

The Energy Strategy sets out our approach to sustainable energy management for the future and how we will reduce, use, generate and measure our own energy requirements, whilst also supporting Warwickshire residents and businesses to do the same. An associated Delivery Plan has also been created which identifies specific actions we will be taking to achieve our targets.

The strategy includes four main policy areas:

• Energy saving
• Energy efficiency
• Renewables and lower carbon generation
• Offsetting.

We have also identified a number of supporting enablers that will also need to be addressed to ensure the success of both the strategy and the Delivery Plan:

• Resourcing
• Financing
• Procurement
• Data capture and management
• Supportive strategies and programmes
• Wider networks.
